Top Bala Hotel Reviews

Pinedale Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very wonderful stay with beautiful view and swimming pool!"

Windermere House

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed my stay due to the well appointed room, well maintained grounds, helpful staff, very good breakfast, nice pub meals and excellent amenities including kayaks, tennis, basketball, barrels saunas and an extremely clean heated pool. The hotel is charming and set on a beautiful stretch of lake. There is a golf course across from the parking lot. The beach area is public and nice but not as appealing for swimming. Pros: Beautiful setting, charm and grace with plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the view. This includes multiple fire pits. All team members were great. Great pool and on site amenities included. Very positive experience. Cons: Very low shower water pressure. Daily room servicing is minimal (no need for turn down). Food and drinks are on the expensive side, commensurate with the 4* property. Lack of pricing on things like a designer ice cream bar ($16!) in the on site store. No pads on lounge chairs by the pool. No pool side service (or online ordering). These are issues that for me would make it even better. This is an excellent place to stay. Highly recommended."

Christie's Mill Inn & Spa, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is in such a beautiful location with amazing views. The beach is nice, the restaurant’s food was amazing and its staff were wonderful, and the rooms are nice, although nothing fancy. I would like a mirror in the room somewhere since there is only one in the bathroom. I would also like seats outside on the balcony so we can enjoy a morning coffee while watching the beautiful lake views. The staff were all lovely as well. It’s a great little gem."

The Bala Bay Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a classic inn that is scheduled for a massive renovation. Over the years there have been attempts to improve and maintain, lipstick on a pig. It’s good to lay your head for a night after being at The Kee or snowmobiling all day. It’s a functional place to stay, no frills or extras. The black painted ceiling was concerning about what it might be hiding. The bathroom had been partially updated and was clean. Strange to not have overhead lighting or lamps. We had one chair and one table so the room wasn’t well equipped to linger at all. The bed slats were so thin, some had been replaced and some were missing, which made trusting the bed very challenging. Hotel furniture needs to be durable and sturdy, if you sat on the corner or even put your hand on it you would go through. Raw uncovered light bulbs in original fixtures that half been painted over was also interesting. In our room the bedding seemed very clean and the carpet was newer, the room smelled clean as well. This was pleasing. The window air conditioner worked well so the room was temperate. Evening staff had a lot to deal with and were not very helpful or even intuitive about their job in hospitality. The best part was access to The Beer Spa included in our stay. What a great partnership and the experience there was outstanding."
